AT THE SOUTH.

EFFORTS are being made at st. Joe,
Mo-, to organize IL western league to
be composed of the following cities: St.
Joseph, Topeka, Leavenworth, Hastings,
Wichita and Lincoln. Sporting men in St.
Joseph who are abundantly able to carry
the league through are at the head of the
enterprise, and there is little doubt Of sue
cess. A salary limit will be fixed a. $lCO
a month and heavy guarantee required
from each club to abide by the contract.
The failure of the Western league the past
season to successfully weather through,
was the result of the high salaries paid by
the Topeka, Lincoln and Kansas City
clubs. They thus became unevenly
mate ed an no interest was taken in the
result after the middle of the season, as
the final outcome was certain.

The state prohibition convention of
M nnesota, at its late session in Minneap-
oils, adopted resolutions declaring that
voting is q duty, neutrality political
crime. The evils of the liquor traffic have
reached magnitude that threatens the
foundations of the government. The cor
rupt use of money to control legislatures is
the grsvest problem in the history Of the
country. The saloon has entered both
parties-republican and democratic-and
now rules them both. High license and
local option are declared failures. The en-
tire prohibition of saloons is the principle
in law and ethics, and the prohibition
party pledges its cooperation and inhu-
ence in the prosecution of all measures
needful for the protection OF the home from
the drink curse
